Physician Intervention and Chinese Americans' Colorectal Cancer Screening
This physician-focused intervention had small, non-significant effects in increasing Chinese patients' CRC screening rates. Physician communication appeared to explain intervention efficacy. More intensive interventions are needed to enhance Chinese patients' CRC screening

Findings demonstrate the value of government-supported, community-academic, CBPR partnerships in cancer prevention and control research
Disparities in knowledge and willingness to donate research biospecimens
Cost-effectiveness of internet and telephone treatment for smoking cessation
Optimal' adherence to internet and combined internet and telephone interventions yields the highest number of quitters at the lowest cost. Cost-effective means of ensuring adherence to such evidence-based programmes could maximise their population-level impact on smoking prevalence

Mortality
Context: Despite advances in early detection and prevention of cervical cancer, women living in rural areas, and particularly in Appalachia, the rural South, the Texas/Mexico border, and the central valley of California, have had consistently higher rates of cervical cancer mortality than their counterparts in other areas during the past several decades. Methods: This paper reviews the published literature from 1966 to July 2002 to assess three p…
The role of trust in use of preventive services among low-income African-American women
How Do Older Chinese Women View Health and Cancer Screening? Results from Focus Groups and Implications for Interventions
Our results suggest traditional Chinese beliefs, such as those pertaining to fatalism, self-care, and the hot and cold balance, influence the perceptions of older Chinese women regarding health, illness, and use of preventive healthcare. Interventions to improve cancer screening in this population should be tailored to the specific predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors of this population, including cultural views, language barriers, doc…
Measuring and Predicting Surgeons??? Practice Styles for Breast Cancer Treatment in Older Women
BACKGROUND: Few measures exist to assess physicians' practice style, and there are few data on physicians' practice styles and patterns of care. OBJECTIVES: To use clinical vignettes to measure surgeons' "propensity" for local treatments for early-stage breast cancer and to describe factors associated with propensity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: A cross-sectional mailed survey with telephone follow-up of a random sample of 1,000 surgeons treati…
Acculturation and breast cancer screening among Hispanic women in New York City
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether acculturation was associated with the receipt of clinical breast examinations and mammograms among Colombian, Ecuadorian, Dominican, and Puerto Rican women aged 18 to 74 years in New York City in 1992. METHODS: A bilingual, targeted, random-digit-dialed telephone survey was conducted among 908 Hispanic women from a population-based quota sample. Outcome measures included ever and recent use of clinical …
The costs and effects of cervical and breast cancer screening in a public hospital emergency room. The Cancer Control Center of Harlem
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of cervix and breast cancer screening in a public hospital emergency room. METHODS: Age-eligible women with nonurgent conditions and without recent screening were offered screening by a nurse. A decision analysis compared the costs and outcomes of emergency room screening and standard hospital screening efforts. RESULTS: The undiscounted cost-effectiveness results for establishing new program…
Barriers to follow‐up of abnormal screening mammograms among low‐income minority women
These preliminary results suggest that follow-up of low income, minority women with abnormal screening mammograms could be enhanced by improved communication of results. Future studies should extend these findings with larger samples and in other settings and populations
The late-stage diagnosis of colorectal cancer
OBJECTIVES: This study described factors related to colorectal cancer stage at diagnosis. METHODS: Logistic regression analyses were used on data from the New York State Tumor Registry and US Census area-level social class indicators. RESULTS: After the effects of other predictors were controlled for, the odds of late-stage cancer increased as age decreased; women and African Americans were significantly more likely to have late stage than men an…
Using census and mortality data to target small areas for breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer screening
OBJECTIVES: The goal of this study was to develop and validate quantitative models for estimating cancer incidence in small areas. METHODS. The outcome for each cancer site was the incidence of disease that had reached a late stage at the time of diagnosis. Two sets of predictors were used: (1) census-based demographic variables and (2) census-based demographic variables together with the cancer-specific mortality rate. RESULTS. The best models a…

Determinants of late stage diagnosis of breast and cervical cancer
Previous studies of the relationship between cancer stage, age, and race have not controlled for social class and health care setting. Logistic regression analyses, using information from the New York State Tumor Registry and area-level social class indicators, demonstrated that, in New York City, older Black, lower class women in public hospitals were 3.75 and 2.54 times more likely to have late stage breast or cervical cancer, respectively, tha…
